Why Learn HTML5 Semantic Tags
The simple way to visualize the HTML5 Semantic Tags.
What Is Semantic Markup?
If you know a little about HTML(HyperText Markup Language) you will know that HTML tags are (mostly) used to format content — these tags tell the browser how to display the content on the page. Older Html tags give no indication as to what type of content they contain.
So now we have Semantic HTML5 tags that address this shortcoming by defining specific tags to indicate clearly what role is played by the content those tags contain.
Why do I need to use HTML5 Semantic tags?
- Html5 tags easily identify the parts of the page.
- Codes are clear and easy to maintain.
- Help your site be accessible.
- Improve your SEO positioning.
